Two dead after Hong Kong’s heaviest rain in at least 140 years

More than 200mm of rain recorded on Hong Kong’s main island and there is also disruption in Shenzhen
Hong Kong’s heaviest rain since records began 140 years ago has left two people dead and more than 100 injured, as unusually wet weather caused by typhoons brought more disruption to southern China.

A global carbon tax with proceeds going to less wealthy countries is a brilliant idea because you can’t fight climate change by yourself, the worst effects are in the Global South and rich countries caused most of it.

Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria hit by fatal flash floods

At least 11 people dead across three countries as torrential rainstorms cause severe damage to buildings, roads and bridges
Greece’s climate crisis and civil protection minister, Vassilis Kikilias, said after an emergency cabinet meeting: “This is the most extreme phenomenon in terms of the maximum amount of rain in a 24-hour period since records began in the country.”

Yes, it’s OK to laugh at wealthy Burning Man attendees mired in muck
Maybe it feels satisfying to see the US elite in discomfort because we’re so unlikely to see them face accountability in normal life
Nature, however, has not been so kind to Burning Man. Over the weekend, heavy rains turned the stretch of dusty flats that attendees insist on calling “the playa” into a muddy mess.

Artist captures the impact of #ClimateCrisis over 150 years on #MontBlanc
Paintings from a climb that retraced an 1800s route on western Europe’s highest mountain reveals the extent of the peak’s melting ice
A British landscape artist who recreated a climb made 150 years ago to document the impact of the climate crisis on western Europe’s highest mountain says what he found was so grim it reminded him of the “dark paintings” of Francisco de Goya

The Government is still failing on net zero, so we are taking them back to court.
Good Law Project is taking legal action with Friends of the Earth and ClientEarth to ensure the Government tackles the climate crisis.
We’re now in the crucial decade to stop irreversible damage from global heating, but our Government still hasn’t produced a realistic plan to tackle the climate emergency.

Dramatic climate action needed to curtail ‘crazy’ extreme weather

Heatwaves, wildfires and floods are just the ‘tip of the iceberg’, leading climate scientists say

‘Crazy off-the-charts records’: has humanity finally broken the climate?
The “crazy” extreme weather rampaging around the globe in 2023 will become the norm within a decade without dramatic climate action, the world’s leading climate scientists have said.

Indonesia’s tropical ‘Eternity Glaciers’ could vanish within a few years, experts warn
El Niño weather pattern could accelerate melting of 12,000-year-old glaciers, with one expert saying he was now able to document their ‘extinction’
Two of the world’s few tropical glaciers in Indonesia are melting, and their ice may vanish by 2026 or sooner, as an El Niño weather pattern lengthens the dry season, the country’s geophysics agency has said.

Tropical forests face ‘massive leaf death’ from global heating, study finds

Some kinds of tree leaf could become too hot to be able to conduct photosynthesis, researchers warn
The photosynthetic machinery in tropical trees begins to fail at about 46.7C on average. The research suggests that forests may be nearing dangerous temperature thresholds sooner than expected.

Emperor penguins: thousands of chicks in Antarctica die due to record-low sea ice levels

Breeding failures in the Bellingshausen Sea ‘without precedent’ as multiple colonies across large region all fail in a single season
Thousands of emperor penguin chicks across four colonies in Antarctica are believed to have died because of record-low sea ice levels that caused a “catastrophic breeding failure” in late 2022, according to new research.
